Hello,
I am trying to shine not polarized light on my structure, but I don't know how. I tried to do like if I polarized light but with no magnetic field. Meaning that took what is on the Fresnel equations model and change the field to zero but is gives me the following error:
Undefined value found
-Detail: Undefined value found in the constraint residual vector: NaN or Inf in vector
Please, can someone help me?
Have a great day,
Phil

Hi Philippe,
Maybe you have to think about what unpolarized light actually is.
I think it is equal amounts of both orthagonal polarisations. So I think you can insert both polarisations with equal amplitude, and the results is what you get for unpolarised light.
